Notes

if your like me and love hops just add an ounce of Cascade to your keg, let it slow carbonate for a 3 or 4 days then take it out and enjoy a great beer!

Adjust caramel 60L for an SRM of 8.

Yeast can be supplemented by US-05

Original recipe suggest:
OG = 1.053 FG = 1.011
IBU = 37 SRM = 10 ABV = 5.6%
